Info for One For The Road

The six-song EP, is the result of Wills and Gregory’s desire to make a record with true honky-tonk leanings. Certainly, all six of the songs sound like they could easily find a place on mainstream country radio. The opening track, This Side of the Dirt is full of countryfied seize-the-day philosophizing but grounded by some serious twang. Neon Time, an obligatory drinking song, is a stately mid-tempo country-rock ballad. A bonus track, Stuck, is an invigorating two-stepping, hand-clapping ode to home and the “hayseed life” that is powered by banjo and some serious hard-rock shredding.

Drew Gregory grew up on a fifth-generation family farm in the heart of the Canadian prairies, where the cycles of planting and harvesting profoundly shaped his understanding of life’s rhythms. This perspective informs his songwriting, which is infused with down-to-earth charm, grit, and honesty. His music bridges modern country production with classic storytelling, crafting vivid portraits of everyday life that resonate deeply with listeners.

His latest single, “This Side of the Dirt,” captures this essence with its lively, uplifting energy and irresistible dobro riffs. Co-written with hit songwriter Wade Kirby and mixed by Grammy-winning engineer Chad Carlson, the release follows a string of accolades, including Drew’s 6th Alberta Country Music Award. A rising star in the Canadian country music scene, Drew has performed at prestigious festivals like the Calgary Stampede and Country Thunder, sharing stages with icons such as Miranda Lambert and Kip Moore. Known for his magnetic stage presence and authentic connection with audiences, Drew continues to deliver music that celebrates country living and the simple joys of life.
